Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

By the time Wen Ling and Shen Jingyou secretly returned to the capital, Yu Xun had already settled down in the capital.

As soon as they arrived in the capital, he and Meng Ang were taken away and questioned by Wen Heng's men.

The two of them said the same thing, saying that Du Zhiyu was short-sighted and was bribed by the He family.

Wen Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people standing below.

"I've heard that Governor Yu is an upright and good official, but Young Master Yu is completely different from your father."

Yu Xun lowered his eyes and bowed, "My father is old and short-sighted, and the Yu family has been suppressed by the Du family for too long, and has never had a chance to rise. Now that I have this opportunity, I must let Your Highness see my loyalty."

Wen Heng did not hide his ambition to climb up the ladder at all, and felt a little satisfied. It is a good thing to have ambition.

Then he glanced at Meng Ang.

"how about you?"

Meng Ang's expression was resolute. "I, too, do not wish to live forever under Du Zhiyu's control. I believe Your Highness understands the situation I and my brothers find ourselves in. This time, I'm joining forces with Master Yu simply to find a way out for my brothers."

Wen Heng looked at the two people with their eyes lowered and stopped talking. He kept rolling the walnuts in his hands. The room was quiet and only these slight friction sounds could be heard.

Although the sound is small, it strikes people's hearts hard.

Then Wen Heng's voice, which sounded like a sigh and a laugh, was heard in the room.

"It seems that both of you have strong opinions about the Du family."

The two of them didn't respond. Wen Heng waved his sleeves and stood up.

"Alright, I'll leave Hong Liangshan's affairs in your hands."

"I am willing to serve Your Highness."

Wen Heng waved his sleeves and let the two men retreat, and the servant standing in the dark stepped forward.

"Your Highness, do you really believe what they say about Du Zhiyu betraying you? After all, Du Zhiyu is dead, and there is no evidence to prove it."

Wen Heng smiled and spoke in a good mood with his head tilted to his side.

"What does it matter whether it's true or not? After all, these two are now under my command. We are all in the same boat. It's not certain that they didn't lie about the Du family, but since they agreed to the private army plan, they are on my ship and can't get off. After all, the waves are dangerous. If they leave me, there will be other ships willing to take them. Wen Ze? He's not so magnanimous. After all, his failure this time is because of these two people who just took refuge with me."

The attendant bowed.

"Your Highness is wise, but I am the one who is being too serious."

Wen Heng dropped the walnut in his hand and the smile on his face faded.

"But the private soldier issue can't go wrong again. You must arrange for a reliable person to accompany Meng Ang back to Hongliang Mountain."

"Yes!"

-

Because they almost lost the literary duel at last year's Three Kingdoms Court Meeting, and finally relied on Xu Yan to turn the tide, Emperor An Cheng decided to select talents for Xuan Kingdom again this year.

The ministers have no objection to the additional imperial examinations, but isn't it too hasty? There has never been a precedent for holding examinations twice a year.

But now that Emperor An Cheng is older, he is doing things less and less in accordance with the rules. After punishing a few disobedient people, the ministers dare not say anything more.

The additional examination in the same year made the students who failed the Spring Examination excited. Even Yu Xun, who had just arrived in the capital and originally had to wait three years for the Spring Examination, was now able to display his talents in advance.

On the day when the results were announced, Yu Xun successfully became the top scholar with the title of first place in the palace examination. Wen Ling and Wen Heng were very satisfied with this, thinking that he was another great general.

Seeing Yu Xun's arrogant look, Shen Jingyou was furious.

He pulled Wen Ling's sleeve and spoke unwillingly.

"A Ling, that's because I didn't take the exam. If I were to take it, I would definitely bring you the top scorer."

As the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo, he cannot be too conspicuous and cannot take part in the imperial examinations. If he really brings back the top spot, the emperor who is already uneasy on the throne will probably become even more uneasy.

Wen Ling pinched his face amusedly.

What kind of obsession is this with the top scholar?

At night at the princess's mansion, Xu Yan, Yu Xun and He Shangming, the three talents recruited by Wen Ling, gathered together for the first time.

Wen Ling looked at the three people sitting together drinking tea and smiled. They were all talented people. On the surface, Xu Yan was loyal to the emperor, Yu Xun was loyal to Wen Heng, and He Shangming was loyal to Wen Ze.

These people who seemed to have nothing to do with each other and would never get together in the eyes of the court officials were now happily chatting with each other.

The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Yu Xun looked at Xu Yan and joked.

"Who would have thought that we would be sitting at the same table drinking tea today after arguing fiercely this morning?"

Xu Yan curled the corners of his lips slightly, took a sip of tea and said nothing.

Wen Ling also smiled and said, "Come on, gentlemen, let's compare the information in our hands."

Xu Yan first explained Emperor An Chengdi's physical condition, then looked at Wen Ling with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty will probably take action against the Shen family soon."

Wen Ling waved her hand, "We already have a plan for this."

He Shangming followed up, "Now I have also gradually taken over some of the military power in the He family, and I am at the princess' disposal."

Yu Xun also smiled and said, "There's no problem over at Hongliang Mountain either."

The people sent by Wen Heng were mainly to monitor Meng Ang's actions, so they were not to be feared.

Wen Ling had a plan in mind and began to discuss the next steps with them.

It was at this time that Shen Jingyou walked in with a teacup. Yu Xun was the first to see him and started to tease him.

"Oh, Prince, you've worked hard to bring us tea again."

If he hadn't miscalculated, this would have been the third trip.

Shen Jingyou ignored him, walked up to Wen Ling, put the teacup down heavily, and was about to leave.

Before leaving, Shen Jingyou gritted his teeth as he looked at the top scorers in the room. Xu Yan and Yu Xun were both the top scorers appointed by Emperor An Cheng this year, and although He Shangming was not the top scorer, he was also the runner-up in this year's supplementary examination.

Xu Yan and Yu Xun were recruited by Wen Ling himself. Weren't they the top scorers before they were recruited?

He even wondered how Wen Ling recruited such talented people, and how he always managed to win the top prize. Was it because he valued their ability to take the top prize?

This reminded him of what Cui Yian said about Wen Ling once claiming that he liked handsome top scorers. Damn it, all the top scorers in this room were pretty good-looking, which made him feel uneasy.

Wen Ling had no idea what he was thinking. She assumed he also wanted to stay and discuss matters, so she pulled him to sit down.

Yu Xun looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, the prince is not going this time."

As they were all men, they could naturally see some of Shen Jingyou's little thoughts. This joke made Shen Jingyou roll his eyes. The other two top scorers and runner-up picked up their cups and drank some tea to suppress the smiles on their lips.

Who would have known that the two people who were generally recognized as irreconcilable had such a good relationship? To be honest, the number of people gathered in this room tonight was incredible to outsiders.

It was not until the three of them left that Prince Shen started to make trouble.

He hugged Wen Ling and wanted to kiss and hug her, refusing to let go, clinging to her softly.

Wen Ling pushed him away, and he came back to her again.

"Do you still want to save your dignity as a prince?"

Shen Jingyou hummed and hugged Wen Ling and kissed her.

"No, no, nothing is more important than A Ling."

Shen Jingyou's eyes were dark as he stared at Wen Ling and reminded her.

"Sister, there are still thirty days."

Wen Ling, whose date was refreshed every day, said: "..."
